If you don't know anything about My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the series focus around five ponies and the power in their friendship. The one you need to know about is Pinkie Pie, an optimistic, 'super duper party pony' who is always planning the next big gathering - and her time for a big party is finally here, in real life.

Hasbro Inc. has some of the biggest brands — and most dedicated fans — with properties including Transformers, G.I. Joe, and My Little Pony in its portfolio. This September, the company will celebrate its success with the launch of the first-ever convention dedicated exclusively to Hasbro properties, with a number of fan-favorite special guests.

While the three-day HASCON FANmily event will take place Sept. 8-10 at the Rhode Island Convention Center, could we start to see more events like this finding their way to the midwest in the future?
